<h1 class="topictitle1">Usage notes on subqueries</h1>
|
|
<div><p>When using subqueries, you should be aware of these usage notes.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <ol><li>When nesting SELECT statements, you can use as many as you need to satisfy
|
|
your requirements (1 to 255 subqueries), although performance is slower for
|
|
each additional subquery.</li>
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />For predicates using the keywords ALL, ANY, SOME, or
|
|
EXISTS, the number of rows returned from the subquery can vary from zero to
|
|
many. For all other subqueries, the number of rows returned must be zero or
|
|
one.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />For the following predicates, a row fullselect can be
|
|
used for the subquery. This means that the subquery can return more than one
|
|
value for a row.<ul><li>Basic predicate with equal or not equal comparisons</li>
|
|
<li>Quantified predicates using =ANY, =ALL, and =SOME</li>
|
|
<li>IN and NOT IN predicates</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
If a row fullselect is used:<ul><li>The select list must not contain SELECT *. Explicit values must be specified.</li>
|
|
<li>A row fullselect must be compared to a row expression. A row expression
|
|
is a list of values enclosed in parentheses. There must be the same number
|
|
of values returned from the subquery as there are in the row expression.</li>
|
|
<li>The row expression for an IN or NOT IN predicate cannot contain an untyped
|
|
parameter marker. Use CAST to supply a result data type for these parameter
|
|
markers.</li>
|
|
<li>The subquery cannot contain UNION, EXCEPT, or INTERSECT or a
|
|
correlated reference.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
|
|
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" />A subquery cannot include the ORDER BY, FOR READ ONLY,
|
|
FETCH FIRST <em>n</em> ROWS, UPDATE, or OPTIMIZE clauses.<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
